Jakarta – When you think of a Lamborghini Murcielago, high-speed performance, a naturally aspirated V12 engine, and exotic Italian styling probably come to mind. Garasi Drift, however, has taken a very different approach by transforming the iconic supercar into a dedicated drift machine.
Known as the “Drift Bull,” the project is being prepared for its world premiere at the Indonesia Modification & Lifestyle Expo (IMX) 2026, scheduled for October 9–11 at ICE BSD. The project is expected to become one of the most ambitious builds ever completed by the Indonesian modification outfit.
The Murcielago is particularly unusual as a drift project because it was originally engineered as a high-performance road-going supercar. Instead of preserving the car’s original character, Garasi Drift is giving the V12 Lamborghini a completely different purpose, preparing it for controlled sideways action on the track.
The project also represents a significant step for Indonesia’s growing modification scene. While drift cars are commonly based on platforms such as the Nissan Silvia, Toyota Supra, BMW, or other rear-wheel-drive models, turning a Lamborghini Murcielago into a drift car introduces a completely different set of engineering and design challenges.
From Exotic Supercar to Drift Machine
The Murcielago was one of Lamborghini’s defining models during the early 2000s and became known for its dramatic styling and large-displacement V12 powertrain. Its combination of performance and exclusivity has traditionally made it more likely to appear in collections or high-end supercar events than at a drift circuit.
Garasi Drift is changing that perception with the Drift Bull project. The company describes the build as its biggest and most expensive project to date, making the Murcielago more than just another modified car.
The transformation goes beyond exterior modifications. A vehicle intended for drifting requires a different approach to chassis setup, steering, suspension, drivetrain behavior, cooling, and overall durability because the car is expected to operate under conditions that are very different from normal road driving.
The result is intended to retain the visual identity of the Murcielago while giving the car an entirely new role. Instead of simply being displayed as an exotic supercar, the Drift Bull is being prepared to demonstrate its capabilities on a drift course.
Designed to Stand Out
The visual development of the Drift Bull is also an important part of the project. Garasi Drift worked with automotive designer Musartwork to create a new livery that combines the aggressive character expected from a drift car with the distinctive proportions and luxury image of the Lamborghini.
That balance is particularly important because the Murcielago has a recognizable silhouette that has remained popular among Lamborghini enthusiasts. The new design therefore needs to communicate the car’s motorsport purpose without completely losing the character that makes the Murcielago instantly identifiable.
The project is scheduled to be unveiled in its final form during IMX 2026. Visitors will not only get to see the completed 1:1 version of the Drift Bull, but may also have the opportunity to see the car in action.
Lamborghini to Make Its Drift Debut in Indonesia
One of the most unusual elements of the project is that the Drift Bull is not being created solely as a show car. The Lamborghini Murcielago is also scheduled to make its first appearance in the IMX Underground Drift program, where it will perform inside the basement area of ICE BSD.
That makes the project particularly significant for Indonesian car culture. The build combines an internationally recognized supercar with a motorsport discipline that has developed a strong following among Indonesian enthusiasts.
Andre Mulyadi, Project Director of IMX, said the project demonstrates the growing technical capability of Indonesia’s modification industry.
“Turning a V12 supercar into a drift car is an extraordinary breakthrough,” Andre said.
The Drift Bull will also be accompanied by a limited-edition 1:64 scale diecast. The model will be sold as a pair featuring two versions of the Murcielago, with production limited to 250 pairs.
For Garasi Drift, the Lamborghini project represents a major departure from conventional modification builds. For enthusiasts, meanwhile, the Drift Bull offers an unusual opportunity to see one of Lamborghini’s iconic V12 supercars take on a role that few would normally associate with it.
Its world premiere at IMX 2026 could therefore become one of the most distinctive moments of this year’s Indonesian automotive modification scene, particularly if the Murcielago delivers the kind of sideways action expected from a purpose-built drift car.
